The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Dangerous Back Alley ( 2 Maps )

These 2 maps show the same city block. The first one shows the buildings with the roofs on them. But, we all know that our players don't always go where we want them to, so the second map shows the same area, but with the roofs off of the buildings and the interiors fully detailed.

These maps were made almost entirely with DundJiinni, with just a little bit of Photoshop postproduction to fix a few details. Almost all of the art pieces used came from the DundJinni users forum.

Nice stuff.... Would it be possible to provide the roofs as a separate PNG? Either individually(preferred) or as a whole PNG layer? Most VTT's have an option to show/hide stuff and these very nice maps would benefit from being able to hide the roofs without having to swap out the entire image(again, separate roofs would be preferred...)

Thanks glad you like them
Here are the 6 roofs ( 5 in 2 zips and 1 not zipped to get around the uploading limits )

These maps were not made with VTT's in mind so the floorplans won't line up perfectly with "snap to Grid" functions. I have recently posted a tower map that was made for VTT grids as well as 8 outdoor maps at rpTools / Maptool.
